    Hope you liked this recipe! 

    Notes :
    • Choose sweet tasting carrots for better results.
    • The quantity of the sweetener depends on the sweetness of carrots.
    • Use a clean jar to store the jam. If preparing the jam in large quantities, I would suggest to sterilize the glass jars.
    • Check the jam consistency by place a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down. After cooling down, if no water separated then its the correct consistency for a jam.
    • You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar/powdered jaggery. You will get a nice orange color if you use sugar. But to make it healthy, always use brown sugar or jaggery.
    • Keep it refrigerated and consume with in a couple of weeks. But it keeps well for a month if handled properly.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
